What shatters your confidence more, thinking the selectors don't think you can make runs against world class spinners on turning decks, or going out and confirming you can't make runs against spinners?

For example, he averages 152 vs Sri Lanka in Australia, but just 7.66 in Sri Lanka, a ratio of just under 20:1.
Yeah but in his defence - one tour, 2 tests - 3 innings.. scores of 6, 12 and 5 were shit - but not the only failures.. Green struggled, Warner struggled, Smith failed twice.
How can you improve on those wickets if you're not given a reasonable crack?
Smith - 151 runs but 145 came in one knock.
Green - 104 runs but 77 came in one knock.
Warner - 64 runs eww.

I don't think it's that black and white.
I agree the chances of him batting exceedingly well are slim.
But I also think you're overestimating the chances of him having four dud tests.
I reckon, given his form, there's every chance he'd make a couple of 50s, and maybe a 40-odd, and average between 25-30, with only a couple of Australians behind him.
Given all that's been said about his ability to play spin, I reckon he'd take a fair bit of confidence out of that. Plus, he heads to England on the back of not being dropped. Again, better for his confidence that way.

I wonder whether his sweetheart deal with ACB requires him to make runs or whether he stays in the team for however long he wants
****ing pitiful

So are we going to india to win? Or are we going to India to keep Travis's confidence up before England?
I thought we are there to try and win.
